Dutch MP blasted for warning of Afrikaner annihilation

Oct 31 2011 – DOKKUM, The Netherlands. Dutch MP Martin Bosma got the full blast of left-wing fury on Twitter and in the news media this week; just for daring to warn that ‘the Afrikaner nation and its language will probably be destroyed’’; and that he was directly blaming the Dutch left-wing ‘for putting the African National Congress in power.’

MP Martin Bosma, the fraction-secretary for the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) and the deputy-chairman of the Netherlands’ second chamber of parliament (Tweede Kamer) in The Netherlands has dared to stand up for the rights of Afrikaners before. This week he levelled warnings that under ANC-rule, the Afrikaners and their language ‘probably would not survive” in the land of their birth.

Writing this in a brief commentary in the Dutch daily Parool, Bosma had merely reacted to a gross insult by Dutch tv-talkshow-host Paul Witteman, who had called the MP ‘pathological’.

A rough interpretation of Bosma’s brief commentary follows:

“I could write three polemics each day. The most difficult task is to chose from the many cases which simply scream out for authoritative comment. I found my subject for 2 November when Paul Witteman cursed me for being ‘pathological; this provided me with my subject matter for 2 November. Having writing experience is not wrong either (writes the former journalist); and keeping your nose in the books isn’t either. I read a lot of Afrikaner poetry these days: N.P van Wyk Louw, Langenhoven, Marais. Too bad that left-wing Hollanders have brought the African National Congress to power. The Afrikaans nation and their Afrikaans language will very likely be destroyed. Thank you, Ed van Thijn, for your relentless idealism. As a polemist, you must never be afraid.”

Bosma also is the chairman for the interparliamentary committee for the Dutch language union, and recently also warned Dutch lawmakers that the Afrikaans language was under serious threat due to the ongoing attempts to anglicise South Africa under the ANC.

While blasting him with vile personal insults, Bosma’s critics all make one basic mistake of course – while creating a battery of accusations they also don’t have to investigate whether his fears for the safety of the Afrikaner nation are founded on reality and facts. As a trained journalist, Bosma has been carrying out his own investigations into the increasdingly dire situation for the Afrikaners in South Africa. And he has obviously already gathered enough verified information for him to reach this conclusion as stated above.
